وَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ع لِبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ إِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ الْفِطْرِ فَصَلِّ الْمَغْرِبَ ثَلَاثاً ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ وَ قُلْ فِي سُجُودِكَ يَا ذَا الطَّوْلِ يَا ذَا الْحَوْلِ يَا مُصْطَفِيَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ نَاصِرَهُ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي كُلَّ ذَنْبٍ أَذْنَبْتُهُ وَ نَسِيتُهُ وَ هُوَ عِنْدَكَ‌ فِي كِتابٍ مُبِينٍ
‌ ثُمَ‌ تَقُولُ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ أَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ كَبِّرْ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاءِ وَ صَلَاةِ الْعِيدِ كَمَا تُكَبِّرُ أَيَّامَ التَّشْرِيقِ تَقُولُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ عَلَى مَا هَدَانَا وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى مَا أَبْلَانَا وَ لَا تَقُلْ فِيهِ وَ رَزَقَنَا مِنْ بَهِيمَةِ الْأَنْعامِ‌ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ فِي أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ.
💫🔆It is narrated from Imam Sadiq, Ja‘far ibn Muhammad, from his father, from his grandfather (peace be upon them), that he said:
On the day of Eid al-Fitr, the Commander of the Faithful, Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon him), addressed the people, saying:
“O people! This day of yours is a day on which the righteous are rewarded and the evildoers suffer loss; it is also the day most like the Day of Resurrection.
As you leave your homes for your place of prayer, remember your departure from your graves to your Lord;
as you stand in your place of prayer, remember your standing before your Lord;
and as you return to your homes, remember your return to your homes in Paradise or Hell.

Know, servants of God, that the least of what awaits those who fast—the men and women who fast—is that, at the end of the final day of Ramadan, an angel will call out to them:
‘Good tidings to you, servants of God! Your past sins have indeed been forgiven.’
So consider how you will fare in what you now begin anew.”

Imam Sadiq, Ja‘far ibn Muhammad (peace be upon him), also said to some of his companions:
“When the night of Eid al-Fitr arrives, pray the Maghrib prayer in three rak‘ahs. Then prostrate and, while prostrating, say:
«يا ذَا الطَّولِ یا ذَا الحَولِ یا مُصطَفی مُحَمَّدٍ و ناصِرَهُ، صَلِّ عَلی مُحَمَّدٍ و آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغفِر لی کُلَّ ذَنبٍ أذنَبتُهُ وَ نَسِیتُهُ وَ هُوَ عِندَکَ فی کِتابٍ مُبینٍ»
‘O Possessor of immense bounty, O Possessor of power and wise governance, O Chosen One of Muhammad and his supporter, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and forgive me every sin I have committed and forgotten, though it is recorded with You in a clear Book.’

Then say a hundred times: «أَتوبُ إِلَی اللّهِ» (I turn in repentance to God).
